Re: New maker of AMC diecasts soon?

[<mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My brother and I had a 70 Maverick, It was sucky to do some things to it as the floor pan on the 70 was different then the later models due to no V-8. We had to hammer the trans tunnel to clear somethings when we pulled the six and dropped the 302 in. For a while we had the original six and a three on the tree with a 9" axle and 4:57 gears in it! It was way cool to drive. You could pop the clutch and run thru all three gears from stop light to stop light. Talk about easy on gas in town. Geez that little six liked all that gear! :]

Actually, Jerry, there WAS a 1970 Maverick. 
 
The Maverick debuted in 1969 as a 1970 model. 
 
The Pinto debuted in 1970 as a 1971 model.

Subject: New maker of AMC diecasts soon? Motormax Fresh Cherries series... 
To: AMC-List <mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx> 
 
 Hey, guys, want a REALLY rare diecast car? ROFL! You aren't gonna believe this 
( then maybe again, it's MOtormax, so you could ). I was at Wal-mart last night 
traveling home, and found a new 1/64th Series by Motormax, called Fresh 
Cherries.plastic blister packs, they have a '77 Mustang, '70 Maverick, and '70 
Pinto. 
 Now, what's wrong with the above descriptions??? 
There IS no such thing as '70 Pintos and Mavericks, they all came out in '71!!!! 
Sold in Sept 70, obviously, but '71 models, whereas the Gremlin was a definite 
'70 model , 1/2 year. Maybe these models will be collectible from that 
standpoint? Heh heh! 
 Hey, I just noticed something on teh back of the package - its a disclaimer 
which says AMC is a Trademark of DaimlerChrysler, so that MUST mean they're 
gonna make some AMC models, too! WOOHOO! I gotta look online to see if they're 
listed somewhere. 
They're already making the 1/24th Gremlin, so Hot diggity! See ya! <zoom!>
